Abstract
A coupling for attaching a transmission to a drive shaft includes a circumferential intermediate piece including a drive-side flange, an output-side flange which is axially connected fixedly to the drive-side flange, and longitudinal webs connecting the drive-side flange to the output-side flange and configured in one piece with the drive-side flange and with the output-side flange. Each longitudinal web is configured in one piece or in two pieces.
Claims26
A coupling for attaching a transmission to a drive shaft, the coupling comprising:
- a circumferential intermediate piece including a circumferential main body and a drive-side flange;
- an output-side flange which is axially connected fixedly to the drive-side flange:
- longitudinal webs connecting the drive-side flange to the output-side flange and configured in one piece with the drive-side flange and with the output-side flange, each said longitudinal web being configured in one piece or in two pieces, and
- a multiple disk assembly connected to at least one of the drive-side flange and the output-side flange,
- wherein the circumferential main body, the drive-side flange, the output-side flange and the longitudinal webs form pockets which are open in a radially outer direction.
A coupling for attaching a transmission to a drive shaft, the coupling comprising:
- a circumferential intermediate piece including a drive-side flange, an output-side flange which is axially connected fixedly to the drive-side flange, and longitudinal webs connecting the drive-side flange to the output-side flange and configured in one piece with the drive-side flange and with the output-side flange, each said longitudinal web being configured in one piece or in two pieces;
- a multiple disk assembly;
- and
- releasable fasteners comprising bolts which have at least one conical section matching the conical shape at least in sections of respective conical recesses provided in the drive-side flange and the output-side flange and located opposite one another, with screws passing through the bolts in the radial direction and fastened to a counterpiece, thereby connecting the multiple disk assembly to the drive-side flange and output-side flange.
A coupling for attaching a transmission to a drive shaft, the coupling comprising:
- a circumferential intermediate piece including a drive-side flange, an output-side flange which is axially connected fixedly to the drive-side flange, and longitudinal webs connecting the drive-side flange to the output-side flange and configured in one piece with the drive-side flange and with the output-side flange, each said longitudinal web being configured in one piece or in two pieces;
- a drive-side connecting flange:
- an output-side connecting flange, and
- a multiple disk assembly connected to at least one of the drive-side flange and the output-side flange,
- wherein at least one of the drive-side connecting flange and the output-side connecting flange is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the circumferential intermediate piece, and
- wherein at least one of the drive-side connecting flange and the output-side connecting flange has portions which alternate circumferentially with a first wall thickness and a second wall thickness, with the first wall thickness being smaller than the second wall thickness.
